Ah, that explains it. Though I still wonder if participation (in terms of % playing out of everyone viewing) has dropped at least a little.

I definitely think most people aren't actively playing, someone had a screengrab of when the stream glitched and displayed all the tallied votes from a full hour between rounds of Democracy and it only totalled to about 20k

So how much of the current stream is bots? TPP at it's peak didn't move nearly as fast.

gently caress it, the stream has become cancerous. Nothing can save it now. BURN IT ALL DOWN.

Is it just me or did the stream become really, really boring in the last few days? I think I'm gonna tune out until something actually funny/awesome happens.

At this rate they'll probably be stuck in a endless tug-of-war until either Feraligatr is released or everything else is.

I like the idea of an annual TPP run a lot. Starts March 1st every year in honor of the original win? March pokemon Madness

The gator-haters kind of have a point. The first game was at its height when they were completely hosed and had no chance of progress unless they managed to pull off something crazy and unlikely, and proceeded to fail hilariously at it for several attempts, then finally, gloriously succeed. Now they have a built-in solution to every problem (hit it with an alligator) and it's kind of boring to watch.

Yeah. This whole run has been pretty boring. It's just watching pokemon be played at a glacial pace instead of last run which was just chaos and strangeness. I think I'm done with it.

12 hours at Morty was pretty fun, actually. Watching them try and fail with democracy was hysterical. After that long, I honestly didn't even mind that they just surfed him to death, it was good to be out of that gym.Slate Action posted:Wait, how did we lose to Jasmine the first time? They switched to Scratch and Rage instead of OHKO surfing everything, the Gator got paralyzed, and then his moves got blocked by paralysis three times in a row. It was basically ATV vs Dragonite except in reverse.

Now imagine how amazing that would have been with Chikorita, whose only offensive options would have been resisted or immune. Not picking it is the real tragedy. e: Seriously, almost literally impossible. The highest effective power move Chikorita can even GET for Morty is 40 effective base power, and it's a TM.

Reminder that past gym 6 is when the story starts picking up. I mean you guys are complaining when we're only on day 3 which was when we got stuck for 12 hours trying to get cut.

Another thing ruined by people trying to milk it out. The first run was beautifully original and entertaining if even only to read about it. This just sounds boring. That said, is there any myth building going on in this run?

It's a bit of a spike, but as it stands, Feraligatr is already higher level than over half of the Elite 4. Johto had problems.

I enjoyed seeing the myths in Red. A few people tried to get them started, but it's pretty obvious all but the most die-hard fans and trolls have gotten bored. The end of this run should be the end of this altogether, in my opinion- if not sooner.

I think this would have went a lot nicer if the streamer had waited a few months -- the original run was fun, buy over two weeks long as it was. Give people some time to cool down, edit Red in the game as a fun surprise at the end, as it its mostly the people wanted more and its just a drag

The yearly runs do sound like a good idea, or maybe quarterly. Particularly if the games involved were romhacked to hell and back to make different pokemon show up at different points or something. Maybe making your first pokemon choice among a Ratatta, a Pidgey, and a Caterpie. Stuff like that.

Or anything, really. Make one of the choices a fuckin' Abra just to troll people, since its only move is Teleport.

I think one problem is that the streamer partnered with Twitch. That means he probably has pressure from Twitch to keep the stream going since they want their partners to stream regularly. I don't know how strict Twitch is but there's a chance the streamer had to keep it going.

Honestly, the circumstances that set TPP up seem like they're once-in-a-lifetime and I doubt we'll ever have as good of a game again. If we didn't release AbbyK and she learned some good moves like Slash and Flamethrower, we'd have almost no reason to use anything else. If Bird Jesus didn't have such an awful moveset, he could have easily soloed the game. If terrible AI didn't give Fonz, Lord Helix, and ATV time to shine, they would've just been more members of the backup crew with Air. Hell, if Zapdos didn't come at level 50, who knows what other underlevelled Pokemon would have been slotted in. Keeper, maybe? The fact that we clawed our way through the worst possible circumstances was very impressive, but with how easy it is to pick a starter and mash A until victory it just doesn't strike me as happening again. And what is TPP without the glorious struggle?
